Hi Wendy,
When on the ebird site, it has links to what you are looking for:
http://ebird.org/ebird/explore
Vancouver = Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada
Victoria = Capitol, BC, Canada
Here's the BC 'counties' list:

Here's the main Vancouver links:

Usually go to a region and explore a hotspot. You can then look at the species occurrences for that hotspot to see what you might expect. Play around with it.
Also, there is the eBird App for you iphone or android phone. This is a great app for doing your checklists and submitting your sightings. The app has quick look-ups and it is a simple tap to count a bird you saw/ID'd. The app is for submissions and does not have the data lookups (as far as I know).
Good birding,
